[FEAT REQ] Khotot: Missing characters in the fonts for Pashto support



I am reposting the message, because of characters display problem of the previous message. Hopefully this time it will have no problem.
-----------------------------------

السلام عليکم

The ae_fonts1_ttf and kacst_fonts are good sets of GPLed TrueType fonts for Arabic. But it will be highly appreciated to see some characters mentioned below, which are currently missing in these fonts to support Pashto language. When these characters are added, will allow full-fledged Pashto support.

Name            Codepoint    Glyph

 yā-yi tānīs     U+06CD        ۍ

Good luck with the good work you people are doing.

Cordially,
